Upgrading from a Moto z3 to an S21 5G Ultra this week, the Moto battery is shot and phone dies with about 50% capacity showing. Verizon had a decent $200 trade-in offer, normally they offer like $10 bucks for an old one like mine. Also got the Samsung case with spen holder. Edit to add: Samsung...

Other issue with M1 is limited support for external monitors when compared with their Intel counterparts. Presumably will be fixed with M2 etc.

Yeah the 5G nonsense is mostly marketing but unfortunatrly they seem to have sd slots only on the flagship models, if any.

How about the Note 20 Ultra 5G? Too old for hardware guts?

The drive would present itself as a single logical unit, managing the two heads internally.

Thanks. First shot I had a little soreness in the arm the first night but nothing after that. The second shot has definitely affected me more, stiffness in the lower back and neck and just generally feel like crap like I'm getting the flu. I'm usually very averse to any needles but thought I'd...

Had my second shot of Pfizer/Biontech today at work where they were running clinics for employees. USA is really cranking with vaccinations now with availability to everyone over 18.

Try flipping the Playstation upside down. Common disk read problem workaround with PS1.

The Washington Post, another Bezos owned entity is very much left leaning. And just recently issued a correction for making up complete shit in regards to Trumps call with Georgia elections investigator Frances Watson...

So apparently the reason used was failing to moderate. But what about Twitter and Facebook groups which arguable had more use for planning of the capitol riots? https://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2021/01/16/opinion-big-tech-parler-trick-pretend-content-moderation-matters/4178474001/ My...

I would agree insofar as private companies being free to restrict speech as they see fit. But certainly what we saw with Parler and being shutdown by AWS shows the risk in putting your infrastructure in the hands of a company that can "turn off the lights" if it finds your content to be...

Yes, the one about Stanislav Petrov.

Watched a documentary on Amazon Prime called "The Man Who Saved The World". I had no idea the world came so close to total nuclear annihilation but for the actions of one man. Highly recommend a watch.

You may need to turn on Windows dpi scaling which may help in certain situations.

I beg to differ. He has taken aggressive action against fossil fuels starting with the cancellation of the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office, swiftly followed by rejoining of the Paris accord with additional aggressive cuts in carbon, and then executive action to...

Not sure whats going to happen in 2024. So far we've seen gas prices shoot up 70 cents, the southern border is turning into a disaster, the people that voted due to outrage over "kids in cages" have seen the Biden administration re-open them. Interesting flow chart regarding that. Certainly...

So the good news Time is that at least based on the recent study I saw even the lower efficacy J&J single shot vaccinne still was 100% effective in preventing death...

So President Biden seems to be continuing his mental decline: He was very much protected during the campaign, his handlers very careful not to expose him to unscripted questions. Still waiting for his first real press conference versus prescreened softball interviews. Psaki said it will happen...

Used Toyota Camry or Corolla would be solid choices. I would avoid Kias and Hyundais, they had serious engine failure problems for many years with the Theta engine. Which Hyundai vehicles are included? The “Class Vehicles” are 2011–2019 model year Hyundai Sonata, 2013–2019 model year Hyundai...

"The first time I did a 1080p stream with my studio lighting one of my students commented that I must be moonlighting as a camgirl." See me after class...

Found the article on Faucis numbers, apparently he was sandbagging with his initial lower numbers based on vaccination willingness surveys: "In the pandemic’s early days, Dr. Fauci tended to cite the same 60 to 70 percent estimate that most experts did. About a month ago, he began saying “70...

What especially worrying is this about the UK strain: "Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist and member of President Joe Biden's coronavirus transition team, said he has reviewed the UK report, as well as other data that has not been publicly released, and he is "convinced" that the new variant...

I think Faucis latest range for herd immunity is 70 to 90% but he said he didnt want to say 90. Either way unfortunate that Oxford is so much less effective than the other two that are 95% effective, tho I can understand for vast countries with significant outlying populations that they didnt...

So I thought what some of the Republicans did in voting against acceptong the votes and getting two hours of debate time to argue their case per the House rules was something new and scandalous. Maybe even sedition or insurrection. Apparently its just absolute hypocrisy by the Dems: they did...

"I'm talking about stuff like "It's a Chinese hoax"" That was actually Biden manipulating a Trump speech on Feb 28th 2020 by cutting over 50 seconds out in between the comments...

Prob better to address this here than in the coronovirus thread: There seems to be this narrative that Trump sat on his ass and did nothing while states were doing everything during early 2020: "The lies spread about coronavirus for example cost hundreds of thousands of lives. I also wish...

NY basically did the same thing, however the immense idiot Gov Cuomo was so busy micromanaging the further rollouts into tiers (75+) etc that it was affecting distribution. He finally eased off and opened it to 65+. Nursing homes are being vaccinated by a seperate Federal program.

If an allegation will not withstand scrutiny in a criminal court, why should we then move on to some kind of less robust system? The court of popular belief? Judge Judy? "It also includes all the members of Congress who voted to overturn the AZ and PA election results". Presumably they were...

Here is the Florida statute he is being charged under: "836.10 Written threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism; punishment; exemption from liability.— (1) Any person who writes or composes and also sends or procures the sending of any letter...

So looks like vaccination speed is increasing in the US: "About 5% of the US population -- roughly 16.2 million people -- has received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 2.75 million people are fully vaccinated, according to CDC data updated Friday. Nearly 1.6 million vaccine doses were...

Those allegations were later withdrawn by the Federal prosecutors: Feds back away from claim of assassination plot at Capitol https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/feds-capitol-mob-aimed-assassinate-elected-officials-75277876 "PHOENIX -- Federal prosecutors who initially said there was...

No, no violence by Trump supporters on inauguration day. That was reserved for the far left in Portland as they vandalized DNC headquarters: https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-outraged-about-right-wing-violence-largely-silent-portland-dnc-hq-vandalized-1563452 I'm sure President Biden will...

I understand where you are coming from. That in say the totality of the last 4 years it all culminates in incitement. But thats not how the courts see it: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-s-speech-probably-defensible-every-court-except-perhaps-senate-n1254258 "The Senate...

Not all of them were, but lets take for example this guy who travelled from Utah: John "Jayden X" Sullivan John Sullivan, a far-left agitator and activist who was present at the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and faces multiple federal charges including “violent...

Any violence against authorities should be prosecuted to the maximum extent. Shameful actions there by a few. Show me where Trump said to act in a violent manner? The Capital violence was already getting underway while Trump was still giving his speech. Heres what Trump said in regards to the...

Ultimately, in the Capital on Wed, some windows were broken, a few guys tried to steal some podiums etc. No businesses were destroyed, no buildings were torched, no cops were murdered. Property crimes. Should people be jailed for their actions? Juries will decide. "The looting and rioting was...

You must be joking, BLM and antifa were burning and looting for months last year, throughout the US, this is just San Francisco as an example: "Manheimer said about 200 businesses were looted or vandalized and 137 arson fires were set during a period in which “numerous” shootings also occurred...

Ok, in your hypothetical, how many states would need to be fraudulently won before you would accept that it had affected the overall race?

Actually in Georgia it appears some significant fraud has been caught on CCTV at the State Farm Arena tabulation center, on election night. Around 10.30pm the supervisor announces that counting will stop for the night and resume at 8am. The GOP poll observers go home (they are entitled to be...

Those restrictions seem to be fairly recent? It seemed like Sweden was going for a herd immunity strategy early on while their neighbors were being more conservative? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-28/sweden-paid-too-high-a-price-with-its-rogue-coronavirus-policy/12922932

You don't have the facts time. The churches have been limiting their services. Churches were closed along with many other locations until July 5th, at which point they re-opened at 25% of capacity, with social distancing in place...

Yes, its a violation of the equal protection clause. The governor is not allowed to make these restrictions on religious gathering numbers based on arbitrary reasons pulled out of his ass. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/26/politics/andrew-cuomo-scotus-coronavirus/index.html "The majority said...

This sounded crazy to me, it looks like Florida localities are indeed free to put in mask mandates, but aren't allowed to issue fines for violators. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/10/07/921216724/floridas-governor-officials-can-require-face-masks-but-can-t-enforce-it

Happy Thanksgiving to all, may your day be safe and delicious.

By "misguided notions about freedom and choice" you are referring to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20a87_4g15.pdf Emporer Cuomo just got slapped down on 1st Amendment grounds from specifically targeting religious gatherings, when big box...

My understanding is the DPA was "invoked"? But not to the extent that the government took actual control over companies, more as a stick to push them to start producing PPE. https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/mar/23/has-president-donald-trump-invoked-defense-product/ Ultimately Cuomo was...

Welcome back! Must be like 10 years? Last I remember you were starting on the path to be a doctor/surgeon?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/docs/pacei-voterfraudcases.pdf Seemed dubious given the source but seems to include plenty of Republican fraud/criminality as well.

In 2000 Al Gore waited until December 13th to concede, after the Supreme Court ruled on the Florida recount case. There is nothing inherently "wrong" with letting the process run its course. And this time around Hillary told Biden specifically not to concede for any reason...

So I'm considering returning the 920+, and getting something that supports 10gbit Ethernet. I dont like the wait of 1 gbit for large transfers. However I cant tolerate any significant tiny fan noise from the associated switches.
